Speaking skills, fluency, past-present-future approachAbstract
Teaching speaking skills in English as a foreign language represents a significant pedagogical challenge, especially in contexts where authentic communicative practice is limited. This review article examines the effectiveness of the past-present-future approach as a didactic strategy to develop oral fluency and coherence in English learners. This approach structures discourse into three temporal moments, allowing learners to organize their ideas logically while practicing essential verb tenses and contextualized vocabulary. The literature review conducted points out limitations, such as potential rigidity in more spontaneous speech and the need to complement the approach with tasks that foster a free interaction. It is concluded that the past-present-future approach is a valuable tool within a communicative approach, especially for intermediate levels, provided it is integrated with other approaches and strategies that promote meaning negotiation and corrective feedback.
